I hope not. Will check when the passport is returned. We had requested for a one year stay, though. And I had checked the Super Visa box when applying.

You need a medical for a supervisa so approval was given in error.Update!
I asked for clarification using the web form. I don't know if it is related, but yesterday I received a medical exam request. This was after the passport was already dispatched to IRCC.
Anyway, will take the medical soon and see what happens. Will update when I know more.
Yes. That is obvious. The question is how did they approve the visa when the medical was not complete. Now we have already dispatched the passport and will have to do the medical with another form of ID.
She was approved for a TRV until you submitted clarification on the supervisa. IRCC can decide just to issue TRV instead.
My understanding is that since the application for regular visitor visa and the super visa program is the same, if you don't provide medical and/or one-year medical insurance or for some reason don't satisfy the officer, the processing office can simply just issue the regular visitor visa if you are eligible for that.When I applied, it said:
